The release of Xbox Series S/X is just around the corner. While there is a lot to look forward to, fans are particularly interested in the Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft has established the Game Pass at the apex of its new console. This is also because Xbox, unlike the PlayStation, lacks a new and extensive range of exclusives. But this didn’t stop Phil Spencer from addressing the Game Pass as ‘completely sustainable’ at its current price.

Spencer was in conversation with the hosts of the Dropped Frames podcast and shed more light on the future of the Game Pass.
